The Definition of Insanity
You snap wires.
Frantic fingers spindle across the inky blackness, taking hold of taut strings the colour of poison. You retch slightly as they pull apart in your hands, bursting like blood vessels and staining everything they touch with the stench of death.
You snap wires.
And all the while, his voice bores into your skull, wheeling and dealing even as he tries to kill you. Even as you try your very hardest to give him what he wants.
You snap wires.
SOUL burning hot like a phoenix in its final moments, shooting down offer after offer, pleading with this jittering, broken creature to stop, stop, please stop before one of us does something we're both going to regret...
You snap wires.
You can't remember how long you've been doing this for. You don't even know what you're doing, why you ever listened to his words in the first place. What had he promised in the space between his outbursts... and to whom?
And still, you snap wires. It's either that or die.
So you snap, and you snap, and you snap, and you
snap
Then there's only one left, shimmering in the darklight, so gossamer-thin that you cannot comprehend how it can still support the clanking, man-shaped junk it's attached to. He spins around it like a demented ballerina, professing heartfelt thanks to the friends he was trying to murder mere seconds before. Pleading with you to cut the final cord, to make him a real boy.
Your fingers move before you can respond. And the sound of his cold, lifeless body slamming into the ground stays with you for the rest of your life. The shock is so great that you almost collapse yourself, adrenaline finally loosing its death-grip on your body.
You are wracked with a great and terrible sigh, before you--/
/--snap wires.
...strings the colour of poison... bursting like blood vessels... stench of death.
...you've been here before, you realise, as you snap wires.
He wheels and deals, firing everything he has at you in a vain attempt to get you to give him what he wants. You would if you could... if it had ever been in your power to do so.
All you can do now is snap wires. And that is all you do.
Your fingers move on their own, as if compelled by an outside force. Pinch and twist, reminding you of shelling peas with your mom before Sunday dinner.
You can't recall the last time you saw her. You think that perhaps you should apologise to her if you ever make it out of here alive. You were always such a wilful child. Always getting into trouble of some kind or another.
And now here you were, making deals with something you couldn't even begin to fathom.
You cannot hear your friends anymore - they do not respond to you calls. And the salesman seems to become all-encompassing before you, drunk on ill-gotten power - power you helped him acquire. You close your eyes as he makes you an offer that you are unable to refuse.
Pain washes over you, and you--/
/--snap wires.
Poison... Blood... Death... this could be the fifth time; it could be the five-hundredth time. It doesn't matter, because all you can do is snap wires.
The salesman screams at you, and your SOUL screams back, roaring with anger and pain and frustration. Does it want the same thing as you do? Is it... trying to help? Or... or is this just a game to it. Fighting the same battle again and again, trying for a high score?
You ponder this as it makes you snap wires.
Perhaps this was punishment for trying too hard. For trying to help somebody who seemed to be suffering. You never understood what your mother meant when she told you the road to hell was paved with good intentions. To your child's mind, not yet versed in the world's wicked ways, this statement was a nonsense, an affront.
But now you get it, as you snap wires. Oh God, do you understand.
You always knew he was the same as you. Something BIG had seized his heart, just as it has seized yours. Prisoners of a destiny that was not theirs. You saw a caged bird crying for release, but you did not see the venomous spider using its corpse as a suit. In trying to make him more like you, you exposed yourself to the risk of becoming more like him.
Damaged. Deranged. Desperate. Dangerous.
And as your fingers become snared in his wires, and you stare transfixed into each other's eyes, you see the fate set out before you, and scream.
______________________________________________________________
You snap wires.
Sometimes, you live.
Sometimes, you die.
It doesn't matter.
You snap wires.

EVERYTHING FOUND ON THE DELTARUNE WEBSITE
Everything is found directly from https://deltarune.com/sweepstakes/.
https://deltarune.com/icee/
This link leads to a post made by Noelle. At the bottom, it has a link to Dess: https://deltarune.com/december/. The broken link is intentional, because other links that don’t exist on the website lead to the Toby dog sleeping. (ex. https://deltarune.com/anything). This Toby dog also occasionally is seen dancing with maracas. When clicked, it plays a lullaby.
https://deltarune.com/dess/
If the link https://deltarune.com/december/ is changed to https://deltarune.com/dess/, a guitar shows up on screen. When clicked, it plays a song, which is an acoustic color of “Lost Girl”. The website title is “* (It’s a red guitar.)”
https://deltarune.com/code/
Another banner which shows up after https://deltarune.com/icee/ is this website. There’s a comment section, and it seems to be a conversation between holidaygirl1225 (Noelle) and smartgenius5554738292 (probably Berdly) about getting prank called. The sound button plays a Christmas-themed song, similar to jingle bells. If the number after smartgenius’s user is called, it simply gives an invalid number message, as it’s a fake one.
https://deltarune.com/secret/
The third and final banner which rarely shows up leads you here. The second door leads you to a picture of plush Ralsei, and the website is titled “You won!” The seventh door leads to a picture of PIPIS, and is titled “You lost!” The 12th door leads to a picture of an empty gumball machine, and too, says that you won. Door 13 gives you this image, and says you won:
Credit to https://www.tumblr.com/lofthousezzz for finding this out, but this is a clear reference and screenshot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbad_(website)! Thanks!
https://deltarune.com/chair/
The final door in this section of the website is the 15th, which redirects you to https://deltarune.com/chair/. It’s a blue chair, and when clicked on, it gets all glitchy and an ominous sound effect plays. The website title turns from “But what if it could...” to “... get darker than dark?” Occasionally, if you click it enough, there will be a Spamton eye jumpscare, and the page will close out on itself. When you exit back to the doors page, it’s titled, “You won?”
Oh boy. Mid-post, I stumbled upon about 50 more website redirects. Save me. This next website thread is gonna be a long one, and credit to my friend Rogul for finding it.
When you click on the first shirt in the prizes section, there’s a blue link. It’ll lead you to:
https://deltarune.com/ramb/
It seems to be a lonely door in the dark until clicked on, where all the lights turn on and you’re in the Green Room.
When the right door is clicked, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/tv/. The website title is “* It’s off.” and supposedly, there is no way to interact with it.
When the left door is clicked, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/weather/. This includes two new character sprites, and when clicked, it shows this, along with a repeating GIF of them swinging their spears:
Finally, when the star door is clicked, it leads to https://deltarune.com/changingroom/. The title is “(Private...), and when the bath curtain is clicked, it comes up with one of the shadow men screaming in surprise before immediately closing the curtain again. Occasionally, it comes up with a rotating Lancer, and when he is clicked, it redirects to https://deltarune.com/lancer/. This is the equivalent of a Lancer rickroll. Thanks, Toby. When the shadow man is clicked on while the curtain is open, it gives this video at https://deltarune.com/shadowmen/: (I can’t upload the video since I’m posting outside of Beta, but it’s a fight between the fun gang and shadow men. You have to, quite literally, knock their socks off to spare them. They also wear some fancy clothes in the fight.)
https://deltarune.com/sighting/
But wait! There’s more!
If you go to the Spamton toilet paper (never thought I’d be saying that), there’s a link which redirects you to https://deltarune.com/sighting/ in the description. It’s Spamton on the toilet. Yeah, the title is also “SIGHTING 1997″.
https://bluebubble.rodeo/
(EDIT: On the toilet paper, there's a link printed onto it: https://bluebubble.rodeo/. It leads to these two sprites of Kris and Susie, and the title is “Get ready for 2 minutes of mildly entertaining shoot-out action!”)
Credit to https://www.tumblr.com/cloud-lad for finding this.
https://deltarune.com/dog/
If you do the same but look in the description of the Spamton belt, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/dog/. This is all it does when you click on it, as well as play some dramatic tunes. The title is “HALL OF FAME”.
The link in the Lancer cookie is simply just another Lancer rickroll. (https://deltarune.com/lancer/)
https://deltarune.com/catpetterz/
This is found when you go into the cardboard box’s description. The music plays some eerie, messed-up version of the game’s theme. Sort of reminds me of the Bad Egg from when you messed up modding in the old Pokemon games.
https://deltarune.com/egg/
When you click on “Until one day...”, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/egg/.
https://deltarune.com/man/
Credit to https://noelle-holi-gay.tumblr.com/post/695672563314065408 for finding this secret page! I can’t find the way to get to it, but it exists here: https://deltarune.com/man/. The title is “* (Behind the tree.).”
https://deltarune.com/blink/
They’re also the one who found https://deltarune.com/blink/, which is a gif of Susie blinking. The title is simply “What?”
I’m unsure of how they originally got to this, but it can also be found in the description of the 3D celebrity photo cube, as of the 150k mark.
https://deltarune.com/kris_dreemurr_kris/
A new Deltarune donation goal has been unlocked! In the heart locket section, a link leads to https://deltarune.com/kris_dreemurr_kris/, which seems to be posted by Noelle since it has the same title as most of her other account posts. It’s also Kris who plays the piano, probably. The audio is of a piano being played, almost frantically.
I haven’t included the Ralsei Nurse Plush link, and that’s because it’s the fight scene with the shadow men which we’ve already seen. (https://deltarune.com/shadowmen/)
https://deltarune.com/bluecircle/
New donation goal with a new link! At the bottom of the PIPIS bath rug’s description, you can find this link: https://deltarune.com/bluecircle/. The link at the bottom leads to the code page (https://deltarune.com/code/), which we have already found.
https://deltarune.com/the_n3w3st_g1rl_g1rl/
In the description of the Noelle watch, there’s a link which leads here. It’s talking about Kris and Susie’s relationship in Noelle’s point of view.
https://deltarune.com/d_a_m_n_y_o_u_t_e_n_n_a/
This seems like extremely important lore! It’s in the description of the Spamton wedding ring, and when clicked, it leads to a message from Spamton. The title is “DELETE THIS !” and when the television is clicked, it turns into static with a static sound effect. The website title then turns into “YOU’RE EARLY!”
EDIT: Credit to https://www.tumblr.com/lillybean730 for finding this and telling me about it in the comment section! https://www.tumblr.com/theundertalesansguy also contacted me about it through message! If the area beneath “EVERYONE... EVERYONE EXCEPT...” is highlighted, it says, “... Mike...”
EDIT 2: HEY! Check out this theory about Mike and Tenna being separate people here! https://jahmocha.tumblr.com/post/695756183040032768/oh-my-god-we-were-wrong-about-mike-mike
https://deltarune.com/d_a_m_n_y_o_u_t_e_n_n_a/ pt. 2
Credit to my friends Exo and Rogul for finding this. On the static page, you can actually scroll down. If you scroll down a little, you get this piece of text:
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE!!”
If you scroll down more, you can see two boxes of static which are slightly different than the normal static. If you click on the first box, it leads you to a solid blue page, playing a different type of static which fades in and out. The title is “AREN’T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?”, and when scrolled up far enough, it slowly turns into different shapes. When the black box is clicked, it leads you to https://deltarune.com/icepalace_glaceir/, which I will cover after the images below.
When the final box is clicked, it leads you back to https://deltarune.com/ramb/, which was covered earlier on in this post.
https://deltarune.com/icepalace_glaceir/
This link was found in the black box shown above, and is yet another glitch post from Noelle. The file link at the start just leads back to their main page, https://deltarune.com/code/. The same goes for the guestbook link at the very bottom.
Finally, this isn’t exactly a secret, but we now have the decision to either exile Spamton or free him with this final donation goal. Make sure to donate and cast your vote, friends!
EDIT: The funny little man is free. This dialogue could be from either Tenna or one of the Addisons, but that’s just a theory.
Is it over? Oh my god, I think it’s over! Reblogs are appreciated, and sorry for having to delete my previous post, but it was really glitching out for me. Please, comment if you find anything else! I’ll add it here with credit!
Grammar is another pet-peeve of mine, so please point out if there are any typos or weird sentences.
LAST EDIT: 9/18/22, 10:24 PM EST
